Sonder — East 5th  

In lively East César Chávez on Austin’s East 5th, a short walk from Sixth Street and the Austin Convention Center. About a mile from Lady Bird Lake and close to UT Austin, with Antone’s and Suerte nearby and a Whole Foods two blocks away. A family-friendly aparthotel that drops you into Austin’s live-music and dining scene.

Forty individually decorated apartments pair colorful western design with modern kitchens—full-size refrigerators, ovens, microwaves, and coffee/tea makers. Many units have private balconies or patios and flat-screen TVs; cribs/infant beds are available on request. The building is accessible with an elevator, though central location can mean city noise or nearby construction.

Splash in the outdoor pool or sweat it out in the fitness center. Barbecue grills, concierge service, laundry and a safe-deposit box add low-effort conveniences. Staff speak English and Spanish to help you navigate the neighborhood.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property keeps you connected. Concierge services and in-room conveniences make this aparthotel practical for remote work and business stays.

An on-site bar and restaurant serve local flavors and casual fare. Wander two blocks to Whole Foods for snacks or explore nearby spots like Suerte and Sixth Street for standout Mexican and Austin eats.
